Convert Polygon to Points in ModelBuilder.

Hi Everyone!

I have a set of parcels and i want to generate centroids (Preferably label Points) of those parcels in the model builder with all existing attributes. I am using 10.1 Standard. of all the options i have looked at, none seems to work for me. Following are some options that i have tried.

1. Feature to Point (ArcGIS Tool) ==> needs Advanced licence.
2. ETGeoWizard ==> cannot use in model builder.
3. Generate Random Points (ArcGIS Tool) ==> Does not carry the polygon attributes over to points.
4. Calculate X & Y in model Builder, make a table, Make XY Event layer and Save as Feature Class ==> Problem Calculating XY

any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks Everyone!

You can add ET GeoWizards tools to your model by adding the toolbox to ArcMap, found in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ET SpatialTechniques\ET GeoWizards 10.2 for ArcGIS 10.1 (OR WHEREVER YOUR ET_GW RESIDES)

...add dragging the tool into your model.

edit: I have the full version of ET GeoWizards, so no guarantees that this works in the free version.
